    Not to side track too much, but how long would that barrel last with the competition shooting you do?
    They had no right to win. Yet they did, and in doing so they changed the course of a war...even against the greatest of odds, there is something in the human spirit - a magic blend of skill, faith and valor - that can lift men from certain defeat to incredible victory.

    At one time, LMT farmed out their barrels. I do believe that they make them all in house now.

    Much longer than a regular chrome-moly or SS barrel which last about 10K (and are shooting 2MOA by then). The ABS barrel should last 3 times that if not better since they cool much quicker.

    I know.
    I had one sent to me that would not run correctly.
    The gas port was oversized.
    I installed a bushing and it now runs just fine.
